When you think that everything has been done in terms of motorcycle headlight assemblies, somebody shows up out of nowhere to show you a new design. I still scratch my head to find out on which style of bike this Phantom headlight will look at its best. But maybe the style of bike doesn’t matter if the theme of your custom is […]

Federal regulations state that your bike should be equipped with a horn. They are installed on all factory motorcycles, but on custom bikes? Huh, huh. I know your argument (and mine). When riding, nobody will hear your horn anyway. Loud pipes save lives….Right? But if you want a better looking horn than the factory "bel"l (why it continues to be so […]
I upload this post on my Blog using a wireless network connection and fantasize at the same time on a fully wireless custom motorcycle. I know it’s not for tomorrow or even after tomorrow. But waiting for this happy event you can clean your bike by using a wireless starter […]
In a previous post called “But Where Is The Battery” I talked about the many ways you could hide a battery on a custom motorcycle. There is another way to solve the battery aesthetic issue. If you can’t hide it, show it in a very nice way. A good example, if you don’t fabricate yourself, […]
This Spade tag light is mine, and objectively (yes, I am objective) not many others that I would like to install on my custom bikes.

Building custom bikes with big engines, I learned a long time ago that so called performance starters have notorious reliability issues. With smaller engines, Harley-Davidson starters do fine. But it seems that some performance starters sold as new […]
They are a classic. Their beautiful designs work will all styles of bikes and objectively, nobody has ever done better quality lights. They are made out of billet aluminum, not cheap casting, and they will never leak water inside like many knock-off on the market. These lights will turn heads well before you make turns. They are all 2-function lights, so you can decide […]
Anything but ordinary is their motto. The boys of Licks Cycles offer retro horizontal & vertical taillight assemblies already belonging to a lot of Bobbers. The package offered includes a heavy gauge side mount that is Tig welded then powder coated in glossy black and a plain red glass. As a bonus when you buy […]
Last night I had a nightmare. After riding the 225 miles between my hometown & Daytona Beach (to participate to Biketoberfest), I was at the International Speedway exit filling up gas. Next to me were parked 2 nice Bobbers worth a closer look. Shock: both had a small GPS attached to the left side of […]
